fox29.com: Pa. bill seeks to put puppy mills out of business

March 27, 2018

Pennsylvania may soon follow California’s lead in banning the sale of animals from puppy mills.

California became the first state to ban the sale of animals from puppy mills in October 2017. Now, two Pennsylvania Republicans are proposing similar legislation to help shift the pet market toward humane sources.

The legislation proposed by Allegheny County’s Sen. Guy Reschentalher and Rep. Jason Ortitay will prohibit the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in pet stores unless sourced from shelters and rescues.
